II
Garnault, Bull's Cross, Enfield.
Villa, c.1860. Pale grey-yellow brick, slate roof. Two storeys over basement. Designer unknown.
EXTERIOR: west entrance front: five windows to first floor, six to ground floor flanking central doorway. Low wall in front of basement area. Arched doorway with bearded mask keystone: part-glazed door within margin light surround reached via steps. Arched windows, each 2/2 pane sashes, within raised surrounds with keystones. Rusticated angle quoins. Dentil cornice with moulded bricks at first floor and eaves level, the latter rising up over the arched windows to produce a crinkled effect. Above the hipped roof is a raised rectangular attic storey, devoid of openings. Tall chimneystacks to either side. South side elevation: blind arched opening to ground floor, 2/2-pane window to right side. First floor completely blind, beneath tall triple paired chimneystacks. North side elevation: arched windows to ground floor, one rectangular window to first. Extension to east, of similar style and materials but cleaner. East rear elevation: busily arcaded on each floor. To left, three tall arched windows with conservatory in front to ground floor, four arched windows to first floor. Extension to right with pedimented projection to left, one window wide, with three arched windows to ground floor and four to first floor. Several windows within side and rear faces of attic.
INTERIOR: retains a considerable number of features, such as marble chimneypieces, original doors, shutters, plasterwork. The staircase is an unusual double design, with one flight rising to the first floor, and a second flight rising to the attic directly above the lower flight. Plain stick balusters, heavy moulded newel posts.
HISTORY: one of the first villas in this area, and of a similar design to the nearby Clay Hill House. Architecturally it is an interesting example of 1860s Victorian domestic architecture, combining the influence of the Italianate style with the singular device of the crinkled roofline at eaves level. The house was occupied by the Bosanquet family in the later 19th century: the celebrated cricketer B.J.T. Bosanquet (1877-1936), inventor of the 'googly', was born here.
